Butter Chicken

This was easy to put together, and very tasty!  Especially considering there is no butter in this recipe :)  I actually doubled this.  *I also have the All-Clad slow cooker, which cooks "hotter" than most slow cookers.  Check your dish, as it can be done in as little as 3 1/2 hours.*  Also, to make it more "saucy", I took the chicken out and used my immersion blender to puree the sauce.  It was a nice touch!  Hope you enjoy.  -Denise
